I'll be first to tell you I love the GT350, especially the R, and will own one eventually.
Just have a problem with Ford neglecting drag and street/strip guys, the majority of Mustang owners/racers.
SRT and Dodge really are killing it when you talk to enthusiasts of street cars. I currently DD a Charger Hellcat and I can tell you the Hellcat hype is legit and lives up...

Here’s the ’20 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 fitted with a track pack spoiler. Earlier prototypes have been caught without a spoiler, while the official Ford teaser showed a rather large wing.

The Mustang-based GT500 will build on the GT350’s performance capabilities. It’s thought that the production version will have a supercharged 5.2L cross-plane crank engine mated to a DCT transmission, although there are also rumors of a NA 7.0L V8 (which is...

I’ve heard a lot of talk that the zl1 1le is so far beyond anything Ford could do with the gt350r or gt500 but I honestly don’t believe the hype as I haven’t seen much to completely paint a dramatic picture of camaro dominance. When I look into things like geometry and cross section, weight balance, height...

1. The price range of the Mustang is $27,000.00 to $85,000.00. That is about $20,000.00 more than a GT350R price. That means the GT500 will be about $85,000.00 then include the dealer added markup and you are looking at $100,000.00 out the door with the tax.
2. The optional engine section they show a 5.2L engine with 750HP and 700 foot pounds of torque.
3. Transmission...

I have a video of it leaving from a stop but can’t attach it for some reason. This car was a auto. I followed it for a while and only had my wife to get pics and video so sorry about the crappy pics. I would love to know how to put the video on. I will try from my computer in a little bit if I have time.

This the ’20 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, and although interior shots reveal a manual transmission on this prototype, it’s just a clever disguise to hide its true intentions as exclusive video confirms a DCT (PDK-esque) transmission.

The Mustang-based GT500 will build on the GT350’s performance capabilities. It’s thought that the production version will have a supercharged 5.2L flat-plane crank (although it sounds like a cross-plane crank in...

Do I get me a nicely equipped, slightly used C7 Z06 which are going for 65-70k OR and you know where this is going... hold off for the new unicorn GT500?
My heart is telling me to wait, but with the lack of information; price, release date, etc... Idk how long I can wait, and if I do, will they price these to the moon? If they price these in the 80s, that's new Z06...

The Mustang-based GT500 will build on the GT350’s performance capabilities. It was originally thought the production version would have a supercharged 5.2L flat-plane crank engine mated to a DCT transmission, but it has been confirmed that it will have an option for the Tremec six-speed manual.

Horsepower should be more than the 707hp Dodge Hellcat models, although it may fall short...

Part of what puts a car into culture is the marketing around it. Look how well Dodge marketed the Demon. They went ALL-IN on making it a car that was talked about not just on Autosites or amongst car enthusiasts, but heck even Good Morning America was talking...
